But I think I've figured out how my Muse works, and that's what's important. :)<br /><br />*is envious of outliners*Danyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341936379982803463.post-12306936867050546892009-05-28T09:58:32.969-07:002009-05-28T09:58:32.969-07:00Thanks, Elana :)!

I get lost in shopping malls, so there you go.<br /><br />Abby, that's cool that you have a Brain Outline! It's the same thing, only easier to change.

And if it feels like work, chances are good I'll find something else to do instead--like writing or blogging or QT forum. :) I guess I always have a rough idea in my head of what's going to happen, so technically that's an outline.
